Magnus waited for them behind the gate. He bowed to Sarcos," Welcome to the Crystal City my king. Sarcos nodded and walked with Sienna and Tyrell to the Tiger Castle. Sharchan decided to meet them in the arena as he had something important to do. Well, he went to get his weapons ready...
Tyrell gave a room to Sarcos and rooms to his men and left Sienna in her Turqoise bedroom. He prepared her new dresses on the chair and in the opened chests arranged neatly around the room. He bought her new ones because he was too proud to ask Sharchan for the dresses the snake warriors took from her. Sienna smiled. Tyrell loved her so much. She picked a beautiful blue dress with a long white and gold cape. They are going to the arena soon and is still kind of cold. Siena was ready and she sneaked out of her room to see Sarcos. He was finished as well. Sienna embraced him and gave him a long kiss."Let's go together. They picked up Tyrell, who was already sorting something with Magnus in his office. Sharchan joined them at the gates. Sienna noticed he got a new sword. It was much bigger than the one, he normally had. She look at him with a question in her eyes, but he just smirked at her and changed with Tyrell at Sienna's side. They walked to the arena together. Sienna walked clenched into Sarcos and Sharchan's arms and Tyrell had to walk first as the Tiger King.
The huge arena was full. Sarcos and Tyrell stood down on the fighting grounds next to each other. Magnus was in the middle holding two daggers on the velvety pillow. "Today Tiger and Scorpion King will become blood brothers joining our nations in peace. The scorpions will be allowed to our city and tigers to Sand City from now on. There be no killings between our tribes anymore. All disputes will be dealt with City head or King's officials. "Magnus called to the people. Sarcos and Tyrell came close to each other; they both took a dagger from Magnus and made a cut on their hand. Then put the bleeding wound together." Be my blood brother, "said Tyrell."Till death." replied Sarcos. The people in the arena were quiet. They were still in shock to see the fierce Scorpion King in person.
Sarcos did not expect tigers to cheer, he knew most people feared him. He was the ultimate monster for them. Tyrell looked at Sienna, she stood next to Sharchan. She looked serene in her long blue dress. Sharchan looked at Sienna too, he did not like she looked at Sarcos at all and his snake started to craze up. He put his hands around her waist and then he pulled her strong to himself. Sienna lost her balance and moaned. "Ahh. "Sarcos looked up to check on her and saw Sharchan's lips curled up. Sarcos smiled as well and looked at Sharchan. Sienna smiled at Sarcos.
Sharchan's blood boiled over and he furrowed his brows. He smirked at Sienna and went to the arena. Sharchan came to Magnus and Sarcos. The tigers in the crowd started to notice tension and were feeling even more uneasy. Sharchan said something to Sarcos. Tyrell looked at Sarcos with a question in his eyes. Sarcos 's lips smiled wickedly and he nodded.
Magnus turned to the people."A friendly fight between king Sarcos and king Sharchan was proposed by king Sharchan. King Sharchan and King Sarcos will become blood brothers in the Snake City, so this is a rare chance to watch them fight." The blobs of sweat came to Magnus's head...He knew Sharchan's snake was still crazy as Tyrell said to him he was poisoned. Sharchan's snake felt rage inside. He wanted to vent badly and the best person to fight with was the Scorpion King. He will show him for stealing his mate. Sharchan felt Scorpion King had a dangerous aura around him and was intrigued. He wanted to try him on. Sarcos looked at Sharchan with a smile. He will show this snake his place. He will never bully Sienna again.
Tyrell went up to sit next to Sienna. He held her hand in his. She was pale. She saw Sarcos fight and was worried for Sharchan. Tyrell hugged her shoulders, "Don't worry Sienna, they both are extremely strong. They would be fine." Sienna squeezed his hand and leaned on his strong shoulder. She missed calming Tyrell so much!
Magnus gave a signal and both kings changed into their animal forms. The huge snake and huge scorpion start fighting. The tigers shrieked in horror when they saw Sarcos as a scorpion. Sarcos looked scary like the walking death with his golden pincers, black body and silvery poisonous spike. Sienna knew he will not try to poison Sharchan. Hopefully. Sharchan's snake went crazy, he was seeing pictures of Sienna under Sarcos all these three days and attacked him with wicked intent. It would be not his fault if he killed Sarcos by accident. Sarcos decided he will make fun of him and pinched Sharchan's tail. Sharchan went berserk mad. The arena shooked from his rage, he was going after Sarcos at enormous speed, but Sarcos always managed to avoid his coils and pinch him. He decided to humiliate Sharchan a bit so he pinched into his back scales a bloody heart symbol with S inside. Sharchan did not even notice. In the end, Sharchan's snake's head got stuck in one of Sarco's pincers. Sarcos held him firmly. "Let's not scar your handsome face," Sarcos said to him.
"I don't care about scars," said Sharchan throwing out his tail wildly.
"But you need to stay pretty for my queen," said Sarcos. He took a dominant stance and was ordering Sharchan around. "You have to be calmer when fighting," said Sarcos to Sharchan in an icy tone.
Sharchan almost exploded inside but had to keep calm in the Sarcos claw. He saw Sarcos's scorpion is stronger than his crazed snake. He did not even try to poison him. Magnus sounded the gong and Sarcos let Sharchan go free. Sharchan's eyes lit in the fresh fire."Let's see how strong is his human form."
"Let's do the swords now," Sarcos suggested. The crowd was dead quiet. They did not dare to breathe. When Sarcos changed form, they sighed in relief. He was handsome in his human form. The sword fight was vicious. The sparkles flew from the swords. They both were extremely fast. Sarcos seemed invisible at the times and caused small wounds to Sharchan while his snake was steaming angry. It was hard to stop the raging snake for Sharchan and it became his weakness with Sarcos. Their strength seems to be equal but Sarcos was faster. But nobody knew if they fight in full strength, so was hard to tell. In the end, they just broke the swords in half and started to spare. Their muscular bodies locked up. Sharchan let out his steam and Sarcos finally could fight with no restraints. "King Sharchan feel free not to restrain yourself," Sarcos called to him as they collided with each other. Sharchan was furious. Sarcos is really extremely strong. He made Sharchan fly the wall a few times. Sharchan started to respect him. "We should spar more often," he tried to punch Sarcos in the face, but he blocked him and punched him in the stomach instead. Then he kicked him twice as well to his ribs. Sharchan smiled and started to enjoy the fight. He tried to maul Sarcos but it proved to be hard. Also, Sarcos's body was hard as iron. Sharchan was not sure if his punches even hurt him. Sarcos was too fast and was difficult to even punch him. Sharchan started to feel good. He vented his bad energy out. It was like the more he fought with Sarcos, the calmer he felt. Then the gong sounded." End the fight, you already sparred for the hour."Magnus announced.
Sarcos and Sharchan get away from each other, they really liked to fight together. Sienna watched them with awe, "You both fight so well," she smiled and went down to the arena. The tigers in the spectator's seats get some courage and cheered loudly. Sienna turned to them and waved. She made everyone feel at ease. She held Sarcos and Sharchan's hands and took them out of the arena.
They all walked to the Tiger Castle, "Let's have a banquet tonight," said Tyrell, "To celebrate our brotherhood, alliance and family."
Sienna nodded."What a great idea. And I can finally dance with you." she smiled at Tyrell. "With you all..." she chuckled.
As they almost reached the castle Sarcos decided he wanted to have a look around the city." I will see you soon my love." he planted a kiss on Sienna's lips and went to a nearby alley. Tyrell looked at him with the question in his eyes, but Sarcos just shook his head. "Something is up." Tyrell thought and took Sienna a bit faster to the castle.
Sarcos felt someone's presence in the alley so he went for a chase. In a few minutes, he held Ramse under his neck, plastered on the nearby wall.
"King Sarcos, how nice to see you. I came to ask you my first favour. "Ramse smiled innocently.
